Kids Headboards

A kids headboard is one of those small upgrades that changes the whole room—suddenly the bed looks “done,” pillows stop wandering, and bedtime stories feel a bit cozier. The Brick has to offer kids headboards for everything from a first big-kid bed to a teen’s room refresh, with options in popular sizes like twin, full/double, and queen.

Why add a headboard in a kid’s room?

In a busy kids room, walls take a beating. A headboard helps protect the wall behind the bed and gives kids a comfortable backrest for reading, homework-on-the-bed moments, or weekend lounging.

For teens, headboards also make the room feel more grown-up without forcing a full furniture replacement. Swap the bedding, add a new headboard, and the space can feel completely different by dinner.

Kids headboards by bed size

Shopping by size keeps things simple, especially when you’re upgrading a bed frame but keeping the mattress.

Twin headboard kids rooms love

A twin headboard is a natural fit for smaller bedrooms, shared rooms, and younger kids who don’t need extra width. Twin headboards also make it easy to rearrange the room later, since the footprint stays compact.

Headboard for double (full) kids beds

A kids double headboard (also searched as kids full headboard or headboard for double bed) gives more room for growing kids, tall sleepers, or anyone who likes sprawling across the bed with a book. It’s a great middle ground: more space than a twin, without the footprint of a queen.

Kids queen headboard options

A kids queen headboard can be a smart pick for teens, guest-ready rooms, or larger bedrooms where the bed is meant to be the main feature. If your teen is close to adult height, a queen setup can be a “buy once, keep it for years” move.

Styles that feel kid-proof (and teen-proof)

Kids’ tastes change fast, so it helps to choose a headboard style that can grow with them.

Upholstered headboards

A kids upholstered headboard adds softness and comfort—great for kids who like to sit up in bed. You’ll also see popular looks like a white upholstered headboard or tufted styles that feel a bit more polished for older kids and teens.

Panel and clean-line designs

Panel headboards keep things simple: easy to match, easy to style, and they don’t lock the room into a theme. If you’re decorating a shared room or trying to avoid “too kiddie,” this style is usually the safest bet.

Shop Kids Headboards at The Brick

The Brick has to offer kids headboards that help you finish the bed without overthinking it—pick your size first (twin, double/full, or queen), then choose the look that matches the room. If you’re updating a boys’ room or a girls’ room, starting with a neutral headboard makes it easy to swap colours and décor later without replacing furniture again.
